Waterstone of Stamford the quality residence. It is run by fantastic people, namely, Wendy Kaufman and Jeanne Ricci. I would not hesitate to recommend it to my clients and family members alike. In addition, they have a secret weapon in Dean Brown for community relations.

The sociologists were right when I was growing up. They said that 'some day we "boomers" would take over the world.' We have. And many of us live in the Waterstone, enjoying our "late middle age.<br>The Waterstone is a (very) full-service hotel-like complex that houses approximately 170 "late boomers". My wife (Linda) is 79 and I am 83. We both retired about 10 years ago but found that we had "aged out" of our upper-middle class condominium that we had lived in for the past 25 years. We decided to look for a more appropriate lifestyle for people approximately our age. We looked at several comprehensive complexes that were all good(ish) and encouraging. But when our daughter, who lives in Greenwich, CT, heard about our search, she advised us to visit Waterstone. She was very positive and optimistic about Waterstone which she had researched and visited. We drove out the next day and were "sold" on Waterstone immediately. We decided on our way home to deal with the many questions we had to make sure that an imminent move was feasible. It was, so we did it! We had some trepidation as we were acting so quickly, but all of our fears were small and short-lived.<br>The Waterstone is a "garden of earthly delights". The move was smooth and we were helped by a wonderful staff. All activities and food are included in the monthly rent and I find myself walking around without a wallet. Most of the other tenants are between the ages of 70 and 85 and we made friends almost immediately! There are activities seven days a week and Linda and I always find activities that meet our interest levels. There is absolutely nothing that we hoped for and didn't get. The sociologists were correct. This is where we belong!

Jeanie Ricci (Senior Area Advisor) was more than welcoming, informative, helpful, cheerful, very patient and extremely pleasant! Jeanie was one of the reasons why my aunt became part of the Waterstone family - we must have visited at least 6 times before she made her decision and each time we were there, Jeanie was present. My aunt is very happy at Waterstone and Jeanie remains being an exceptional person.<br>5 stars to Jeanie and to Waterstone!!
